As mentioned earlier this week, I am starting a series on this blog about (potential) ballpark proposals in various centres across Atlantic Canada. These posts will include arguments on why certain locations would be an ideal place to build a ballpark (or small multi-purpose stadium with baseball capabilities). Most of these posts will include pictures of these areas, including Google Maps screenshots.

Most of the proposed ballparks will be located in one of a few areas in each city. Most of these proposals are either:

current ballparks (either senior baseball or other local leagues)

current sports fields (football, soccer, rugby, etc fields that can be converted for baseball use)

open areas in (or around) downtown

areas that have a lot of open space that can be used for a ballfield and / or parking)

The first post will discuss the idea of redeveloping Wanderers Grounds in Halifax to a multi-purpose small scale stadium (baseball friendly, of course). Due to my knowledge of the cities, most posts will be about Halifax or Moncton. I will also post at least one each for Fredericton, Saint John, Charlottetown, Sydney and St. John’s.
